Carlton Davis III
CB - New England Patriots
Week 15 Outlook
Availability
The Patriots placed CB Carlton Davis III on the non-football injury list.
Fantasy Impact
Davis isn't ready to go for the start of training camp. New England can activate him at any point up until rosters are trimmed down to 53 players.
The Patriots agreed to terms with CB Carlton Davis on a three-year, $60 million contract.
Fantasy Impact
The deal includes $34.5 million guaranteed. He recorded two interceptions last season with the Lions. He figures to improve the Patriots secondary.
Detroit Lions DB Carlton Davis III suffered a fractured jaw during Sunday night's loss in Week 15, which is expected to sideline him for the next six games.
Fantasy Impact
With the provided timeline, Davis' estimated return would be around the Pro Bowl, meaning his season is likely over unless the Detroit Lions make the Super Bowl. However, given the stacking of injuries against the Lions, that task is looking more and more difficult. Davis had a pair of interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and was pacing for a career-high tackle total, with 56 through 13 games while playing 83% of the team's defensive snaps.
Lions CB Carlton Davis' jaw injury is believed to be serious, with head coach Dan Campbell stating that he does not feel good about his chances of returning this season.
Fantasy Impact
Davis was ruled out after suffering a jaw injury in the second quarter. The Lions possible also lost Alim McNeill to a knee injury as the defense continues to deal with injuries to every level of the defense. The Lions will likely have Davis undergo further testing early in the week.
Carlton Davis III (knee/thumb) is off of the injury report and available for Week 14 for the Detroit Lions against the Green Bay Packers according to Tim Twentyman.
Fantasy Impact
Davis III returns after being sidelined the last two weeks for the Lions, providing a boost to a Detroit secondary that will need all hands on deck against a hot Green Bay Packers offense for head coach Dan Campbell in Week 14.
